celebrating the glossy black cockatoo project film

This Creative Space project took a little time to pull together. Mapleton School was a fabulous school to work with as they are very environmentally focussed. It took a couple of extra days of work making the wings etc for filming day but in the end everyone helped each other to finish by the deadline. 190 little treasures flying over the hills behind the school. Nothing was scripted. Only the expert Eric Anderson came in to the school to give talks to every class about the GBC....then on filming day I had the Grade 2 teacher pick out a few children who she thought might remember what was talked about.....I rounded up a few of the older students randomly early morning before they could think about it and hey presto I think it worked in the end. We have had a few screenings thanks to my Maleny Film Co-Operative group and hopefully another in Palmwoods at the end of the month. Hope you like it
